In a shocking turn of events, Christian entered at number 24, drawing a huge response from a tearing-up Edge. 'Captain Charisma' looked great. Not only was he in good shape, but he was taking bumps and running through signature spots as if they were nothing, teaming up with Edge for the duration of his run. He ended up making the final five before being put out by Seth Rollins.

Last year's one-sided Orton shellacking aside, this was Christian's first WWE match since March 2014.

Carlito also returned in the men's Rumble. Looking real jacked, baby, Carlito entered at number eight, looked great in everything he did, and surely put himself on every promotion's radar as a potential signing.

Kane also returned in the bout, with this being the only time you'll see him willingly wearing a mask anytime soon. There was also a brief return from The Hurricane, whose last WWE appearance was in the 2018 Rumble. He was taken out by Big E and Bobby Lashley here.
